I have a masters degree in urban planning and it was the biggest waste of time in my life. my classmates were mostly a bunch of aspiring Matt y’s except for one outspoken pedophile who openly despised homeless people and loved gentrification

They did very explicitly bring up what they consider a solution is, and how it is distinct from that brand of yimby'ism, in this latest episode: large-scale public housing projects, as opposed to performatively wishing your neighborhood had higher buildings or being in support of a groverhaus on every lot in america.

a good barometer is to ask how people who talk about how they hate NIMBYs feel about rent control, if they think it's good then they're probably on the up and up

V. Illych L. posted:i have very limited understanding of american zoning laws, but my impression of cth's objection to YIMBY-ism is that they interpret it as a sort of deregulatory impulse - politics should retreat and let the force of nature that is the market fix it it's not really politics retreating, in fact in many cities in particular the rapidly growing ones the yimby mayors and city council members are often literally developers themselves, if not just essentially bankrolled by them as a rubber stamp breonna taylor's murder is a direct result of the merger of developer interest and city politics

isn't that what deregulation always is though i mean more wrt the mattys of the world, who seem to think that there's some rationality bound into the market which makes it superior to just figuring poo poo out collectively

is YIMBY = you're in my back yard? I feel like I was absent for one day of class and all of a sudden everyone is using new terms. I felt like this for PMC when I thought it was for mercenaries still and not boomer mangers.

i think chapo got a couple things wrong about matty. i dont think he gives a drat about influencing important people in power to take seriously his dumb ideas. matty was born in the Hot Takes Factory. he’s a contrarian. he just wants to think he’s smarter than everyone else, which is why he comes up with extremely idiosyncratic ideas no one else is thinking of.

I don't think MattY wants to be influential in the sense of actually getting things done. But I do think that he desperately craves the "makes u think" sort of reaction from pundits and influential people. Back in grad school I knew this polisci grad student who loved to be the "unconventional ideas" guy. He wrote a paper for a class about how the ideal way to prevent another 9/11 from happening was to give every passenger on a plane a billiard ball. Because you can't do anything with just 1 billiard ball, but 100 people throwing billiard balls at a hijacker with a knife will knock them out. It's the same energy I get from MattY.

No, WTC 69 with 68 empty shells to act as decoys. They'll never get through all of them before we scrape off the corpses and rebuild.

MattY and I have a differing opinion of federalism and the ability of HUD to build build public housing without respect to local zoning and it's blown up into a major subject of twitter housing discourse is the story
